dagodave Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hello everyone I've been cleaning out one of my rooms for the last 2 months. I came across a large grouping of Luftwaffa items in one container. I'm questioning the originality of this tag, can anyonetell me the information here? I was thinking Luftwaffa Recon? Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davejb Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Well, dont take my word for it but I think this could well be a fake, my reasoning is this, 1/ the font is too precise, 2/ the whole tag is is way to clean, no age to it, no dirt or crud in the lettering, 3/ usually the lettering is reversed and upside down from the top, on the lower section.4/ each line of the lettering is in near perfect alignment top and bottom. I would say that this has been made in a jig whereby the tag can be moved forwards or backwards and the stamping is in a fixed position. But I would wait and see if there are other comments from guys more experienced with Erkennungsmarken 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for you opinion I don't remember even buying anything like this must have came in the grouping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve T Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 SCHKP = Schiitzenkompanie (rifle company) AUFKL = Aufkliarung (reconnaissance) FL= Flieger (Flyer) SCH = Has about 30 different definitions! FLSCH together = Fliegerschule (Flying school) So the upshot of this is that the tag is very confused and, given its condition, almost certainly a fantasy fake item. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
